Hi Dean, I have also experienced some problems trying to build the VM with VMMaker for WinCE in a Win* machine. One of the problem is related with instantiation of the VMMaker. The #default message returns an instance for building the image in the host platform. So, when you open the VMMaker with the menu, all is ok. But IF YOU CHANGE (by hand) the last editbox contents with title "path to generated sources", a new VMaker can be instantiated and provably if you named the directory for WinCE platform, the wrong instance will be created (aVMMaker instance). I hace solver the problem making a subclass of Win32VMMaker. I attach the changeset here.
Also I have build a VisualStudio project with isolated sources for PocketPC; and now I have it running with some plugins. I have trying to build the VM with FFIPlugin but without success yet. Is it requiered to have a piece of code in Assembler to port the code for FFI ? (I have seen a portion of code in assembler for win32 platforms)
I can send you the sources and project now, if you are in a hurry; but I plan to make a public release of 3.7VM for winCE soon.
best, Ale.

Hi Tim,
Is there any easy way to get VMMaker to generate C code that doesn't include all the Gcc dependencies that the latest version does? I'm trying to build an updated 3.7 VM for WinCE (i.e. my iPaq 2210), and the current VMMaker output from 3.7-5989 Full makes MS VC++ quite cranky.
Thanks! -Dean
